NTR: polymeric

[dosumis]

Suggested def: A quality inhering in a structure by virtue of it consisting { mostly? } of many of repeated, similar or identical subunits { arranged in some orderly array ?}

Use case: quality of cellular components in GO including microtubule, actin filament, collagen fiber. These differ from single molecule polymers such as DNA in that their subunits are not covalently bonded together.

Potential problems: Def perhaps out-of-scope for PATO in covering molecules such as DNA, protein, polysaccarides. If so, do we have an ontology where these are in scope?

Notes: A complete coverage of this domain would subclasses homopolymeric, copolymeric, crystalline.
